reported, citing various reports on the web.
The mentioned shrine is particularly significant to the Sikh community as it is known to have been visited by the founder of their religion, Guru Nanak Dev, hundreds of years ago. Sputnik cannot independently confirm or verify whether the Nishan Sahib was actually removed from the historical gurdwara.
Images of the empty flag-holder at the Gurdwara have emerged on social media, stirring major uproar. Netizens are calling out the group for attacking non-Muslim minorities in Afghanistan.
Recently, several spine-chilling videos of war-torn Afghanistan have emerged on social media, revealing the
intensity of the tensions.
